Skillet Creole Chicken Fricassee by Shandy

This is very quick and easy to make, and super delicious! Just like a gumbo but without fussing over the roux. I followed the recipe exactly except I used chopped/shredded leftover rotisserie chicken. I tossed the cooked chicken with the creole seasoning then added it to the skillet with the cooked sausage near the end.
I topped it with green onions for some colour and freshness, and served over rice. Everyone loved it, even the kids. ;) I will make this in lieu of any gumbo recipe for now on!

*I also make my own creole seasoning, so I don't how this would taste with store-bought.

Gorgeous photo, Cosmicmom! I can't do all that spice, but it sure looks good!

Thanks Bakerme! :)
That's why I make my own seasoning, so I control the spice! The kids wouldn't be able to handle all the cayenne or white pepper, so I take it easy on that. :) I found the 3 tsp's of creole seasoning called for to be a perfect amount of seasoning for all the meat and sauce called for, so it's definitely not much in my opinion ;)

I would have to omit the cayenne, creole seasoning, and the andouille sausage and, by then, it's a totally different recipe!

That is a fantastic photo Shona!! I love that this has all the flavors of gumbo too, without the roux, sounds great!

That is something else I have never made! It looks like a good meal stretcher when served over rice. I wonder if that would go over pasta as well? Seems like it may work. Fabulous colorful picture!

Thanks Michelle :)
Yes it would Frankieanne! Thin the sauce out with more chicken stock and toss it with bow tie noodles or spaghetti. We have that a lot too, but I don't always add the sausage when I make it that way.
If you can't find Andouille you can sub with any smoked sausage. Andouille is hard to find around here! I lucked out this time ;)
